In light of recent improvements in terminal fluidity and a reduction in congestion at WUT, effective May 25, 2022, WUT is suspending imposition of the long stay rehandling fee due on containers with extended dwell. The fee may be reinstituted at a future date if operational conditions deteriorate.
ALL chassis, including long term leased chassis, need to be DOT worthy when arriving the terminal.
Roadability
Rules:
All chassis, except
for those owned by an independent truck driver or owned by an independent non
PMA affiliated trucking company and identified as such, shall go through
roadability. Chassis leased long term and requiring
maintenance by an independent truck driver or an independent (i.e. non PMA
affiliated) trucking company and identified and proven as such, may have
repairs performed by ILWU mechanics or the container shall be removed and the
chassis will be permitted to exit the facility. For containers that are
removed, flip charges will apply. (For repair rates, please refer to this link: https://www.uswut.com/faq/).
The
8 points of the inspection are:
- General overall condition

We
will need the following to release the long term leased chassis that does not

If
you have chassis that have been on terminal, please reach out to us at ClientSupport@uswut.com to make
